    Beautiful traditional cosy Irish cottage

    Wonderfully quaint charming Irish cottage. Cosy and warm we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely use again. Far enough away to feel in the open country but close enough to amenities and two lovely pubs in the village

    The cleaning just was not up to standard. Dirt around the edges of the floor, under the fridge and beds, in the cupboards. Mold in the cutlery drawer. This did not spoil our stay but it really detracted from the experience. Also would have been good to have empty cupboards in the bedrooms so we could unpack.

    We loved our time in Dream Cottage. Warm and comfy. Beds were lovely and the host kindly found an additional camp bed for our extra person. Would recommend, unless you are a clean freak (see additional comments).

    The bathroom is due an update. I understand that this will be done soon. That said, everything was a bit tatty, but perfectly functional.

    The cottage has everything you need. The beds are super comfortable. The kitchen is lovely to cook in. The lounge is warm and comfortable. The lady we were in contact with was really helpful and available for us.

    Unfortunately, there are several concerns that I wish others had mentioned and only in hopes of owner improvements, not to hurt their business. Though there was good water pressure, The shower had drainage issues on the first night/use and we were not able to take showers without the water pooling past our ankles. The floor mat is rubber, instead of cloth to absorb excess water. We showered less to avoid standing in dirty water. The bathroom sink is so small that you can't properly wash your face or even brush your teeth without accidentally missing the sink when spitting out toothpaste or rinsing. There were only older rough bath towels, no hand towels or wash cloths. There is only a washer, not a dryer and it had mold and gunk inside the soap dispenser. The cleanliness of the kitchen was not great but appliances worked. The toaster oven had old cobwebs stuck to the bottom and inside of it. There were no extra garbage bags and the garbage outside was overflowing and spilled onto the ground from previous visitors upon arrival. The Kitchen pans and knives are old and dull. If you plan on cooking, bring your own pans/knives, including a cutting board/baking sheet and oven mitts. The bed mattresses sink a little (I am 115lbs).

    The host was very nice and responsive to messages. Booked for the Thatched Cottage experience. It was very quiet, with the exception of a neighbor dog that barked for hours on our last night stay. Ballintober has friendly people. Having the place to ourselves with wifi was a plus. Good water pressure. It is not conveniently located for driving/ visiting Ireland on daily trips but it is perfect for those who want to get away for tranquility. The birds sound amazing in the morning. It is better to arrive before dark in case you get lost from coordinates. The host did respond quickly by phone to help.

    The bathroom was flooded. No milk or extras left. The hoover was left out and cubards were full of personal items. Cardboard boxes were left in the room and the place was cold, although there was a cute stove there were no actual logs left to use it. No shampoo or conditinor left either. Generally, it was not what I expected from Booking.com.

    Nothing really.

    We had a wonderful week with our dogs in Dream Cottage. Nikki was so friendly and helpful and gave us a number of excellent recommendations for places to eat and things to see and do in the area. The cottage was spotlessly clean, well maintained and nicely decorated, and was so quiet and peaceful. The new kitchen which had recently been installed was lovely :) The weather unfortunately was wet at times but Nikki had kindly left some briquettes for us to light the stove which was so cosy to snuggle up to and watch dvds when it was wet and miserable outside. Our dogs loved all the space outside to run around, which was very secure and safe. We will definitely be back!
